About Shri Mahavira Jaina Vidyalaya Trust (SMJV)
Shri Mahavira Jaina Vidyalaya (SMJV ) has been serving Indian society for over Century. Established in 1915 with the blessings of eminent Jain Guru YUGDRASHTA ACHARYA SHRI VIJAY VALLABHSURISWARJI MAHARAJ SAHEB, the roots of this premier institution are found in its belief that the education, coupled with followings of basic Jain principles will help the cause of Jain philosophy to create a non – violent, peaceful and prosperous society.
In 2007, the Trust decided to make a direct entry into Higher Education and formed Shri Mahavira Jaina Vidyalaya Education Foundation (SMJVEF) Trust for imparting education to all communities including Jains to benefit wider tapestry of Indian and Global societies.
